After the 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' actor stepped down from his 2019 Oscars hosting gig, the former 'America's Got Talent' host points out at Amy Schumer's, Sarah Silverman's and Chelsea Handler's old posts.

The "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" star landed the prestigious job on Wednesday, December 05, but faced backlash over his past use of homophobic language in tweets dating back to 2010. Hart stepped down as host just one day later.

Now, Cannon has waded into the furore, and dug up old posts on Twitter from Schumer, Silverman and Handler which contain homophobic insults.

In the post from 2010, the "This Means War" star wrote, "This is what a f** bird likes like (sic) when he flexes," alongside a photo that is no longer available.

"Interesting," the 38-year-old posted on Friday, December 07, alongside an old tweet of Handler's. "I wonder if there was any backlash here..."

While Schumer and Handler have yet to comment on Cannon's posts, Silverman did share an article from People on Twitter about the homophobic tweets.

Before he stepped down as Oscars host, Hart shared a video on Instagram explaining his refusal to apologise for his past offensive tweets, and added that he had already said he was sorry for using homophobic language, and was not prepared to do it again.

Cannon commented on the comedian's video, and wrote, "We with you regardless!!! You know how we feel about people trying to control us anyway!!"

Hart did eventually go on to apologise, and pulled out of hosting duties as he did not "want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists."
